The boat was shaking like crazy. Well, for the other passengers it was. But...for me and Gon, no, not that much. "Katzo! Take the helm for me!" The captain bellowed. "Y-yes sir!" The man whom which the captain called Katzo ran over and steered the ship. The captain then went into one of the rooms (A/N: I'm not good with parts of the ship XD). Gon and I just shrugged. We followed the captain downstairs to find a bunch of people lying down. Gon nudged me and said, "I'll go get some water for them." I nodded my head. "Hoho! If they couldn't survive this storm, who knows what would've happened to them in the exam!" The captain said while laughing. I just stared at them. 'Minors, minors'

Gon came back with water bottles in both his hands. He gave the passengersthe water. 'Ah, it seems we have a few tough guys, and girl, on board.' The captain thought as he stared at me, Gon, and two other people.

"Bleh!" The man in the dark blue suit spit out his apple. "Sour." And the other guy with the blonde hair was just reading a book.

"Well, better get back on deck," The captain said to himself. He then walked upstairs. "You four get up here too."

"I think that means us, Gon." I said to him. Then he nodded back. We all walked up and went into the captain's cabin.

"Now..." The captain smirked. "This is where the exam begins."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the exam? I thought this was the ship to the Hunter Exam." The man in blue inquired. "Well. This isn't exactly the exam, but the examiners hire people like me to cut off examinees, so, I'm just going to ask you a few questions."

The man in blue squinted. "O-kay."

"First," the captain said started off. "I need to know your names." He looked at Gon first.

"Oh," Gon pointed at himself. "Me?" The captain nodded. "I'm Gon! Gon Freecss." 'Freecss?' The captain thought. Then he turned to me. "I'm Katelyn." 'Katelyn? I've heard that name before...' The captain thought again. Then he turned to the two older men standing next to us.

"I'm Leorio."

"And I am Kurapika." They said.

"Now. Why are you all wanting to become a hunter?" The captain asked. "I want to become a hunter like my dad!" Gon beamed. "Me too! My dad became a hunter when I was small." I said. 'I was right. Their names were familiar.' The captain thought. Then he turned to Kurapika. "Why do you want to become a hunter?"

"Revenge. I want to avenge my clan, the Kurta Clan. I wish to capture the band of thieves called the Phantom Troupe." Kurapika said. The captain nodded. He then turned to Leorio. "How about you?"

"I want to become a hunter..." He smirked. "For MONEY!"

We all stared at him in disbelief. He then kept on rambling on and on about what you could do with the money you got from becoming a hunter. "You can't buy class with money, Leorio." Kurapika said. "W-wha? Yes, you can! And that's Leorio-san to you." Leorio growled at Kurapika. Kurapika just turned away. "Tch. I'll end the filthy Kurta Clan now and then." Leorio said to Kurapika. "You take that back, Leorio." Kurapika glared at the man.

"For the last time," Leorio glared back at the blonde, "It's Leorio-san to you." and left the cabin. Kurapika chased after him. I looked at Gon and shrugged. "I...guess we better go, too." Gon said. We ran outside to see that the storm just got worse.
